Thanks all who have replied so far.

Re the Chinese tipitaka, i know little, but have heard that the T
Koreana is more primitive technologically than the CBETA. Anyway,
the CBETA seems to be the standard (it is excellent to use, far in
advance of the digital Pali canons; it has a handy 'copy and cite'
button that saves a lot of time, and allows searching under various
modes, eg page reference, volume number, character, etc).

For Piya Tan, fantastic - actually we were going to ask you if we
could use your material. There should be plenty of space.

Stephen, that would be fantastic if you could offer us
transcriptions of the Samathadeva quotes, starting with those from
DA. When the project is up and running, we would like to approach
PTS and Peter Skilling to see if we could use his Maha Sutras
translations when they appear. I don't see that this would conflict
with PTS's interests, as it would be a teaser for people to buy the
full three volume critical edition. But we want to get the pilot up
first, so that people can easily see exactly what we're about.

Regarding the Arthaviniscaya, yes i have seen Samtani's edition, but
since i know no Devanagari, i was limited to reading Samtani's
notes. If you had a version in Roman, i'd love to see it.
